Back-to-basics rural site in the stunningly scenic Yorkshire Dales
A 15-minute drive from Hawes and the Wensleydale Creamery
Dog-friendly spot with firepits, clean toilets and hot showers

Those who believe back-to-basics doesn’t have to mean entirely no frills will feel vindicated at Stablefell Holidays, a family-friendly site 15 minutes’ drive from the Yorkshire town of Hawes that marries basic stays with the comfort of cosy facilities. Deep in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this scenic spot makes a fab base for nature-filled stays – it's a wildlife haven, about a mile from Lake Semerwater and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust’s nature reserve. The former will keep guests busy with watersports (canoeing, sailing, windsurfing and fishing) while the latter will have guests looking to the skies in the hopes of spotting oystercatchers, snipe and whooper swans. The site is dog-friendly too (as long as dogs are kept on a lead), so it’s a good thing that there’s a wealth of lengthy wanders and hikes starting from base, including setting off across fields to the lake, following the River Bain as far as Bainbridge village, and wandering the valleys of Raydale and Wensleydale. If more of a laidback break is called for, that’s handily sorted too: the site is car free – wheelbarrows are available for bringing kit and caboodle from car park to pitch – so peace is not easily disturbed. You'll also be free from the sound of pinging gadgets too, as there's no wifi or mobile phone reception at this site (a bonus for many folk seeking a break from the constant communication of modern life…) Each pitch comes equipped with a firepit for cosy evenings next to an open fire, and the clean facilities and hot showers will ensure guests feel fresh at all times.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked The Facilities were lovely and clean. The campsite itself was well maintained and very peaceful and quiet. The Lady who greeted us was very friendly so overall I lovely experience.

Disliked Only thing to point out was how when you turn the shower on water gets all over the floor and wet a lot of my stuff but it was a quick fix.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thankyou for taking time to review us and we are glad you enjoyed your stay with us.
I just wanted to comment and let other guests know that the reason the shower had leaked is a different guest had sadly just disguarded a razor head cover into the drain instead of popping it into a bin and it had blocked it - causing it to overflow.

We are also looking into popping shower screens in as well to prevent this - however guests dropping rubbish in the drain will still block it. We can only do so much.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Gem of a site!

The pitches are really big and nicely spaced out. We had other campers on our field but barely noticed them — the spacing is that good. Great thought has gone into the layout, with a really nice use of grass mowing to mark out areas while still keeping it natural.

The site owners strike just the right balance of being friendly while leaving you to enjoy your stay in peace. Fresh coffee is on sale in the morning — a great start to the day. It’s reasonably priced too, and I’d pick it over Costa, Pret, or Starbucks any day.

The location is excellent: a lovely village just 15 minutes down the road, with some great walks all around. These were the best showers I’ve ever had at a campsite, and there’s a little bonus that makes all the difference — boiling hot taps at the kitchen wash sinks.

Lastly, the surroundings are amazing — absolutely stunning views.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great site, fantastic rural area, beautiful views, hot showers, clean toilets, my daughter loved the goats cats & horses, big pitches, fire pits on each pitch, friendly owners

Disliked Take note pizzas are on Saturday evenings only and have to be ordered 24 hours in advance, so we missed trying the pizzas

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Vicki

Thankyou for your lovely review - great to see you enjoyed our site and what we had to offer.

Just a note to point out - PIZZAS, we advertise these on an Ad-Hoc basis - we don't guarantee these are every Saturday night, and may sometimes do these on a Friday. ( or sometimes not at all)
With all our guests we email arriving guests about 4 days before arrival to confirm if we are doing pizzas, prices and how to order.
They do have to be ordered 24 hours before cooking as we prepare the sourdough in advance and this takes time because they are all fresh. - All this information is in the prearrival pizza email we send out to all guests.

Hope this clarifies

Local attractions

Start stays with explores of nearby Hawes, a small town 15 minutes’ drive from the site. This is among Yorkshire’s most well-known spots, home not only to the Dales Countryside Museum, but the Wensleydale Creamery as well, where visitors can take part in tours and demonstrations, and catch up on the exploits of the man-and-dog duo that made Wensleydale cheese so famous. Not much into cheese? Sample other flavours at the town’s Raydale Preserves. For a taste of history, there’s no need to travel all that far either. The site’s just 30 minutes from the 14th-century Bolton Castle and its bird of prey displays, archery demonstrations, wild boar feeding, and castle and garden tours. Slightly further afield are the follies of the Forbidden Corner, the remains of Middleham Castle (Richard III’s childhood home), and the ruined Jervaulx Abbey, all within 40 minutes of base. To experience the Dales’ natural landscape, spend some time outdoors with pilgrimages to Aysgarth Falls (20 minutes), or dive below the surface at White Scar Cave (40 minutes) – the UK’s longest show cave – and Ingleborough Cave (55 minutes). Prefer to spend some time away from the countryside instead? It’s 50 minutes from base to the large market town of Richmond for a day among its museums, castle, falls and art gallery.
